[CVS] Weird error because font-lock-unfontify buffer not autoloaded..

[D. Goel]

Greetings everyone

Is this the right place for discussing cvs bugs?  or should i M-x
report-emacs-bug?

Just checked out a CVS (21.3.50) in an attempt to help with
proofreading docs:), and built it on a debian gnulinux sarge, using
'make bootstrap' etc.  Then:


emacs -q -no-site-file 

M-x eshell

C-h i

m


>From then on, i get:
"Symbol's definition is void: font-lock-unfontify-buffer".


Doing M-x toggle-debug-on-error before all this doesn't seem to help
produce a backtrace, and the message continues showing in the echo
area..



The behavior does not occur in 21.2, and M-x eshell before C-h i is
essential to get the behavior.. 

The FIX:

If anyone can reproduce the problem:

i didn't waste time investigating why it occurs, coz i am sure the
problem will go away if we simply add ;;;###autoload before (defun
font-lock-unfontify-buffer ...  in font-lock.el :-)
